Part Eight
Small Update, but a nice one:

In the past, many Dk'ers will remember my non-cutoff headlights which I defended so strongly (they suck, massively - I know.) So thanks to, toyotahachiroku - I now own a pair of Hella H4 housings.

Here's a before shot, of the Ebay housings with no cutoff:

While inspecting my plugs since I had a low-beam issue, it's now solved! I always over looked this as it looked fine, but here's my fix. One wire (assuming low-beam) was disconnected right at the connector, so I fixed it by crimping an extension wire (to give it more room to play around with, since I guess it broke before by tension) and it worked flawlessely.

I aimed my headlights to a line in the garage door. Any tips if it's too high or not? I assumed it wouldn't be at the level it was at:

Also, here's the one picture I love about the housings. They don't have the Hella H4 bulbs which were 65w bulbs (anyone interested in purchasing, make me an offer) or the Phillips 65w bulbs I was using after those (assumed it was my problem for low-beam, the light bulbs). My light bulbs in there now, shine a nice bring 100w white-blue color.

This picture shows the bulbs, with the sidemarker (kouki lights) cutoff. The side marker bulbs are yellowish.

The best thing about the housings, is the cutoff - I didn't realize this before as something mandatory when I bought the Ebay housings (I apologize to those who I retorted against, in that thread - a long, long time ago). But now, I can also if decided (which I am) going to put an HID kit on the Corolla in later days.

Alright, short update lots of talking.
That's me.
